Description: This course explores image creation with generative AI. Participants will gain a primer on generative AI tools for image creation, considerations for using generative AI, and best practices for creating effective and accessible images for various use cases. Through hands-on activities, participants will develop skills in crafting descriptive prompts and selecting
appropriate visual styles to generate unique images with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Adobe Firefly.

This course is an elective that counts toward receiving a digital badge for the AI Literacy Education Program.

*Disclaimers: 

• This course utilizes Adobe tools which are available to faculty, staff, and select student populations. Students will need to ensure they have access to Adobe apps before attending this workshop.
• Adobe Firefly and Express are accessed via the web. Participants do NOT need to download Adobe Creative Cloud.

Objectives: In this course, you will learn to:  

• Understand the basics of generative AI technology for image creation
• Write descriptive prompts and use visual style options to generate images
• Employ best practices for creating effective and accessible images

Duration: 60 minutes

Experience Level: Little or no familiarity with generative AI tools for image creation

Description: Curious about ChatGPT Edu and what it can do for you, but not sure where to start? This introductory workshop offers a guided tour of the secure, CSU-licensed version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, available to all active SFSU faculty, staff, and students. You’ll learn what ChatGPT Edu is, how to access and navigate the platform, and how key features can support productivity and learning in various contexts. By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to explore ChatGPT Edu in your own work.

This workshop is brought to you by the AI Literacy Education Program.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what ChatGPT Edu is and what its benefits are
• Access and navigate ChatGPT Edu through the SFSU workspace
• Identify and explore key features for productivity and learning

Duration: 60 minutes

Join us in a hands-on workshop featuring brief presentations from faculty across the campus, who will share their experiences creating and using custom GPTs. You’ll see some demos of custom GPTs in action, and have plenty of time in guided break-out rooms to experiment with creating your own. 

The panelists featured in this workshop are: 

Brian Beatty, ELSIT

Sameer Verma, ISYS

Yiwen Chen, Marketing

Amy Latham, Business Communication

Aviva Sinervo, Psychology
